WARNING
If it is necessary to reach in to re-
move any foreign object caught
in the propulsion system, strictly
observe the following before pro-
ceeding:
– Remove tether cord from the
engine cut-off switch.
– Wait at least 5 minutes.
– Do not press on START/STOP

another 5 minutes.
Deactivating iBR Override Function
To deactivate the iBR override func-
tion, release the iBR lever. The IBR
OVERRIDE ON- RELEASE LEVER TO
EXIT message will cease to scroll in
the multifunction gauge.
NOTE: When the engine is started,
the iBR gate will move to the neutral
position.
WARNING
When moving the iBR gate using
the iBR override function, ensure
no-one stands near the rear of the
watercraft. Movement of the gate
may squeeze fingers.
Capsized Watercraft
NOTE: Some vehicle safety labels are
not shown on illustrations. For infor-
mation on vehicle safety labels, refer
to
WATERCRAFT SAFETY LABELS
.
The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily. Two spon-
sons mounted on the side of the hull
assist watercraft stability. If it turns
over, it will remain capsized.
WARNING
When watercraft is capsized, do
not attempt to restart the engine.
Operator and passengers should
always wear approved personal
flotation devices.
To turn the watercraft upright, ensure
the engine is off and the D.E.S.S. key
is
NOT on its post, then grab the inlet
grate, step on a side bumper rail and
use your weight to rotate the water-
craft towards you.
NOTE: A label on the stern near the
flushing connector provides instruc-
tions on how to turn the watercraft
right side up. The label is upside down
so that it can be read when the water-
craft is overturned.

TYPICAL
The 4-TEC TM engine features a tip-over
protection system (T.O.P.S.
TM
). When
the watercraft tips over, the engine is
automatically stopped.
When the watercraft is returned to its
normal operating position, the engine
can be started normally.
NOTICE
If the watercraft has been
capsized for more than 5 minutes,
do not attempt to crank the engine
to avoid water ingestion that would
damage the engine. See an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
